Use DateTime.Subtract(DateTime) function.

C#

DateTime christmas = new DateTime(2011, 10, 10);
DateTime newYears = new DateTime(2011, 10, 12);
TimeSpan span = newYears.Subtract(christmas);

console.Writeline(span);

Solution 1

You use a TimeSpan to retrieve the difference. Consider this example:

C#

DateTime startDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-25);
DateTime endDate = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan difference = endDate.Subtract(startDate);
Console.WriteLine(difference.Days);
